The former Barcelona and Netherlands defender won the Eredivisie title four years in a row between 2011 and 2014, and many have expected him to move on to a new challenge away from the Amsterdam giants.

The 45-year-old's name has been mentioned for the Everton job, with their boss Roberto Martinez in danger of losing his job after a hugely underwhelming season at Goodison Park.

De Boer has the reputation and record that Everton fans may look for, and the man himself could be interested in taking the job should Martinez be sacked this summer.

Agent Guido Albers, as quoted by The Mirror, has revealed that De Boer would 'love' to manager Everton or Valencia, and these comments could put the ex-Rangers man right in contention as a possible replacement for Martinez, with the Toffees board no doubt made aware of Albers' admission.

"He would love to join a club like Everton or Valencia," said Albers. "It’s all about the right philosophy and how they play football. That is what Frank is looking for," he added.
